Bab 213: Chapter 162: Am I a Taciturn Black Dragon?

When he was a corrupt official, it took only a little embezzlement for him to end up on the gallows.

As for this dog of a corrupt official in the bounty quest, his death must have been even more tragic.

The king who built The City of Gold... was but a sparrow.

The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the sparrow behind.

The corrupt official is the mantis, and the sparrow is the king.

The corrupt official bore the infamy while all the gold and silver treasures fell into his treasury, and he even secretly built a Gold City.

If the so-called Gold City is truly a tomb made of gold in the shape of a city, then the appearance of the Gold City should mirror that of the capital of the kingdom....

No, that's not right. The blueprints of the Gold City were drawn by the corrupt official, so the Gold City built by the king might not resemble the kingdom's capital at all.

I almost misled Meredith and the others.

No wonder it is a collaborative bounty task.
